BlueOptics Simplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable LC/APC to SC/APC Single Mode OS2 0.5m Yellow

The BlueOptics Simplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable LC/APC to SC/APC is a high-performance single mode OS2 patch cord designed for reliable data transmission in data centers, telecommunications, LAN, and FTTx networks. With a length of 0.5 metres, it provides a compact solution for short-distance connections. The cable features LC/APC connectors on one end and SC/APC connectors on the other, both with Angled Physical Contact (APC) polish to minimize back reflection and ensure low insertion loss. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket material enhances safety by reducing toxic and corrosive emissions in case of fire. The yellow cable colour indicates single mode fibre, and the 2.0 mm diameter ensures flexibility while maintaining durability. Typical insertion loss is less than 0.2 dB, and return loss exceeds 60 dB, supporting wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm. The cable is compliant with RoHS, CE, IEC 61754, and TIA/EIA-568-C.3 standards.

Advantages

This patch cable offers superior signal integrity with low insertion loss and high return loss, ensuring reliable performance in critical network applications. The APC polish reduces back reflection, making it ideal for high-precision systems. The LSZH jacket provides enhanced safety in enclosed spaces. The 0.5-metre length is perfect for short patch panel or equipment connections, reducing cable clutter.
